Conveniently located but very odd that tea and coffee was provided near the dining room and not in the room. A pain when you had to get dressed in the morning before having a cuppa in bed. Room was clean and staff friendly.

Abbey Lodge is a very nice property conveniently located in Killarney. We were able to check-in a little early and left our car parked in their lot while we went on an all day tour after we checked out. The staff was friendly and helpful with all our questions.
